Bicycle ticket for accompanied bikes.

For bicycles which you take onto the train yourself, you need to buy a bicycle ticket. A bicycle ticket is valid for SBB services, private railways, PostBus and other transport companies.

Please note that, depending on passenger demand – especially if the weather is good – little capacity may be available for accompanied bikes on certain services. You can find more information on travelling with your bike here.

You can obtain annual bike passes and 1-day bike pass multipacks at the counter or by calling Rail Service on 0900 300 300 (CHF 1.19/min. from Swiss landlines).

1-day bike passes can be purchased online in the SBB Ticket Shop, via your mobile phone, at the counter or from ticket machines.

Short-distance trip tickets are available online in the SBB Ticket Shop, via your mobile phone, at the counter or from ticket machines.

Mandatory reservations for ICN trains between 21 March and 31 October can be booked online in the SBB Ticket Shop, via SBB Mobile using your smartphone where you see the symbol or at SBB ticket offices up to 5 minutes before departure. If you board an ICN train with a bike but without a bike reservation you will be required to pay a surcharge of CHF 10.00. However, we cannot guarantee a space for your bike, as you may have to vacate it for passengers with a reservation.
